    I dislike how common certain tropes are, how overacted it is, and how formulaic most of the stories are. I also hate Shounen and its focus on which guy is strongest. It’s boring to me.

      No disrespect to Toriyama-san, but this was Dragonball Z to a tee.

      “THIS ENEMY IS THE STRONGEST EVER! GOKU ACHIEVES HIS STRONGEST FORM!”

      “NO! WAIT! THIS ENEMY OUT OF NO WHERE IS SUDDENLY THE STRONGEST AND GOKU’S FORM IS 1,000X STRONGER!”

      Shounen anime is just junkfood anime, like Bleach. It’s got lots of filler, the main guy gets a hundred forms, all stronger than the last, they’ll pull some bullshit out of their ass to win the day and give people lots of ‘GOTCHA’ moments. And a lot of the characters are rule-34 prone.
